Mechanical Engineering at M3 Design
M3 Design thrives on creativity, curiosity, and a hands-on approach to engineering. Our engineering team helps design and implement successful products and experiences for our clients and their customers. We transition ideas from concept all the way to production. Throughout the design process we work closely with clients to ensure successful outcomes. We work on consumer and business-to-business products, wearables, medical devices, capital equipment, experiences, and a wide range of other products. These systems may include mechanisms, motion systems, high and low volume parts, optics, electronics, and sensing.
What you’ll do...
As a senior member of the engineering team, you will contribute and lead projects to create products informed by our stakeholder-centered design process. You will work closely with M3’s industrial design and UI/UX teams to develop products across the entire development lifecycle from strategy to concept to detailed development to manufacturing handoff. As an engineer at M3 Design you will brainstorm and conceptualize solutions and evaluate these concepts with mock-ups and prototypes. You will fully develop solutions using 3D CAD modeling and engineering analysis before documenting the designs for production. Additionally, as a senior member of the engineering team, you may act as a project manager for projects, provide engineering support to the sales and marketing teams, scope and create proposals for new projects, and help mentor junior engineers.
